Words in Action is a multilingual student performance open to all UC Berkeley students taking a foreign language at any level. The event was born in 2012 out of a desire and a need to bring together the language community through theater, music, dance and poetry; to offer students an alternative, holistic way to embody and explore language and culture in a performative way; and to expose the community to the wonderful mosaic of cultures we are fortunate to have on our campus.
